Hands-on course was conducted. Students were divided into 3 groups, each

students were given a natural tooth and access opening and biomechanical

preparation was done individually. Also students were then allotted cases and

Description about NPTEL

About NPTEL

The National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) was

initiated by seven Indian Institutes of Technology (Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur,

Kharagpur, Madras, Guwahati and Roorkee) along with the Indian Institute of

Science, Bangalore in 2003.

Five core disciplines were identified, namely, civil engineering, computer

science and engineering, electrical engineering, electronics and

communication engineering and mechanical engineering and 235 courses in

web/video format were developed in this phase.

The main goal of NPTEL Phase II (2009-14) was to build on the engineering

and core science courses launched previously in NPTEL Phase I.

An additional 600 web and video courses were created in all major branches

of engineering, physical sciences at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels

and management courses at the postgraduate level.

Several improvements such as indexing of all video and web courses and

keyword search were implemented.

Some highlights:
